Well, that was my first post on Perl Monks, and I was expecting to look back here tomorrow, and see if I had any replies. I certainly wasn't expecting 4 replies within half an hour! Thanks, people!

I've seen log4j before, and would have gone for that, but it's not installed on the machines here. My script needs to be able to run on any of them, so editting syslog.conf is something I also want to avoid.

However, Log::Dispatch is installed, and even though the Tklog option isn't, I think I should be able to code that in simply enough myself. :)

Thanks for your help,

Matt

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
